I'm looking for a Java based forum engine which is easy to integrate with an existing website.
Currently I have tables for users (including columns for passwords and email etc) and would simply like to add a forum.
From http://java-source.net/open-source/forum-software I've found these:
Top candidates currently, are JForum, Jive, mvnForum and Yazd.
My question is, does anyone have experience of any of these or some other forum engine, and especially, experience on integrating it with existing user tables?

You need a reliable forum host and tools that provide all the functionality you'll need. Our go-to forum software recommendations are WordPress and phpBB due to their ease of use, flexibility, and a wide variety of features.
Forum software is tech that enables you to create text-based threads where people can post questions, discuss issues, offer solutions, and make comments. Typically, discussion forum software also enables organizations to moderate conversations, rate users, and collect user feedback.
Wiki: Unlike conventional forums, the original wikis allowed all users to edit all content (including each other's messages). This level of content manipulation is reserved for moderators or administrators on most forums. Wikis also allow the creation of other content outside the talk pages.
For reference, JForum really met all my requirements. Their single-sign on (SSO) framework works like a charm, and gives me the responsibility to decide which username/password pairs are valid. No special cookies needed either, just my good old session map.
